Tampa Bay Rays

On this early slate, stacking doesn't seem like the way to go. There are a lot of average hitting teams against average pitchers. With that being said, the Rays do stand out a bit. They face off with Austin Slegers, who is just a rookie and 25-years-old. Slegers hasn't been good in the majors and Vegas doesn't think he turns it around here. He was pretty solid in AAA, but he still had issues with command and striking out lefties. He now moves to the majors and has to face the Tampa Bay Rays. While the rays will often struggle against good pitchers, they can be effective. They have a few bats with power and a few others with speed. Slegers, being a righty, has been far worse against lefties. Corey Dickerson, Logan Morrison, and Lucas Duda are my 3 favorites, with Kevin Kiermaier a close 4th. The Rays aren't as bad as people think, but the bottom of the order is. I'm not a big fan of a sneaky stack if you're stacking the Rays. It's already a big enough deal if their stars can get it done.

Main Stack - Corey Dickerson, Kevin Kiermaier, Logan Morrison, Lucas Duda / Wilson Ramos

Cleveland Indians

If you took a look at the main picks article, you saw quite a few Cleveland Indians. They face off with Reynaldo Lopez and the White Sox, so it makes a lot of sense. This entire White Sox pitching staff is horrible and I'm not sure there are any worse in baseball. Lopez is actually better than a couple of them, but he's still no good. He's allowed a .341 wOBA, though he hasn't pitched nearly enough innings to judge. He welcomes them into Guaranteed Rate Field, which happens to be a top 10 power park. The Indians are an extremely lethal offense and we know the production can come from a lot of different spots. Jose Ramirez and Carlos Santana both destroy righties and are my 2 favorite options. After that, you got Lindor and Encarnacion. Both are extremely strong plays and make sense in a stack. The bottom of the order isn't flashy, but they can produce. Don't be afraid to take a shot in large-Field GPP.
